K-Electric (formerly KESC) Karachi - Pakistan

Manager Supply Chain & Special Projects / 2010 - 2014

K-Electric, formerly known as Karachi Electric Supply Company Limited and commonly referred to as KE is a Pakistani vertically integrated electric corporation involved in generating, transmitting and distributing power to around 20 million inhabitants of Karachi. It employees over 11,000 people and covers an area of 6,500 square kilometers with industrial, commercial, agricultural and residential areas falling under its network. K-Electric was incorporated on 13 September 1913, under the now repealed Indian Companies Act, 1882 (currently Companies Ordinance, 1984). In 1952, the Government of Pakistan took control of the Company by acquiring majority shareholding of KESC. In 2005, the Government privatized K-Electric. In 2009, The Abraaj Capital, a leading private equity firm based in Dubai, bought the power utility for a significant equity stake in the Company. Abraaj Group fully controls KE via the holding company, KES Power Limited which holds 72.58% of its shares.




By 2012, KE achieved Gross Dependable Generation Capacity of 2052 Megawatts. Latest addition to its generation fleet took place in April 2012, when KE’s newly constructed prime power station called Bin Qasim Power Station No. II started to generate 560 additional megawatts based on Combined Cycle technology. Before that, 1010 MWs had been added to KE’s installed power generation capacity, from January 2009 to March 2011, by construction of new power plants, improvement of existing fleet efficiency by over 10 per cent through replacement of old machines with highly efficient machines, timely and digital annual maintenance and overhaul of Bin Qasim Power Station I’s old units and by optimum dispatch of electricity. Reliability of the system has been improved by reducing unit tripping by 33% and by 31% reduction in the loss of un-served energy. KE’s 180 MW GE – Jenbacher Gas Engines – Project has been awarded “Best Fast Track Project (Silver Award)” and “Best Plant in the Region” title by Asian Power Magazine. Also, 673 MVA have been added to KE’s transmission capacity through construction of eight new grid stations bringing the total number of Grid Stations to 60, and installation of 16 new transformers at existing grid stations. A total of 31.5 kilometre new transmission lines have been laid down enhancing the network from 1186 to 1218.5 kilometers, while 124 kilometer extra high tensions lines have been rehabilitated. With addition of 18 new circuits to the network the total number of circuits has come to 118. With that, transmission losses have been reduced from 4.19% in September 2008 to 1.45% in November 2011.




KE is the only vertically-integrated power utility in Pakistan. It produces electricity from its own generation units with an installed capacity of 2341 MW. It also has power purchase agreements for 1021 MW from various IPPs (Independent Power Producers), WAPDA, KANUPP (Karachi Nuclear Power Plant) and through imports. These purchases are based on an optimized generation cost that is governed by the fuel cost at the respective power facilities and their operating efficiencies.
